Job 37:14 where were You-ghost ship
“Listen to this, O Job; Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.”
            This week God has been opening my eyes to these very words. “stand still and consider the wonderous works of God. Everywhere I look I find myself in awe and wonder with God and how much beauty there is in this world. From the bugs in my room to the stars in the sky I see the beauty and thought put into creating all these living things- well the little bit I can comprehend. There is beauty even between the lines a friend used to tell me, and now that is what I can see. The beauty which cannot always be seen because of our bitter hearts or our crazy lives. Finding the space in our minds and softening of our hearts to see the beauty within all His creation is one of the many beautiful attributes of our walks with Christ. The rest of this chapter talks about the fullness and power of our God and how He plans everything and sprinkles beauty in it all- whether in that moment or not we see it, He is faithful to put it in. It says in verse five, “…He does great things which we cannot comprehend.” And this I find is very true, but not in an annoying way where in school or when someone is trying to explain something to you and you just can’t comprehend it you get frustrated whether at yourself or that person- no this is not that kind of “can’t comprehend”, but a need for a greater understanding of God. I can only laugh at myself when I try to do things in my own power and fail miserably, why even try when the one who created the heavens and the earth can reign over you and me if we just lay our selfishness aside and allow Him to open and close the most perfect doors for us. Standing still- this is something I am not good at, at any moment in time, I like to work and keep busy it’s how I stay away from thinking and overthinking so much, which is what I am extremely good at doing. Standing still and coming to a peace of mind is something God has been working in me.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

IBS- MARK 10:46-52 “ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”   I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sin

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do good work hardily as for the Lord and not to men.” Christians often talk about working for God, going on a mission’s trip for God, doing the ministry for God. Its good to talk that way. It’s biblical. We are promised that through Christ we will “bear fruit for God” and we are called to “work heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.” So, we should do things for God. But what does that mean? Sometimes when we talk about doing something for someone, we mean that we are going to meet their needs. So, if we talked about doing something for the poor, we mean we are going to meet the needs of the poor. But is that what we mean when we talk about doing things for God? When the Bible calls us to do things for God, is it calling us to meet God’s needs? That’s impossible, because God has no needs. Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served b
